Either incredible fun or loathsome mess, depending which bit you're on. [Issue#200, p.98]

Cynical cash-in. [Issue#200, p.96]

As good a workout as the PS3 can offer. [Issue#200, p.96]

Only serious gore fiends need apply. [Issue#200, p.95]

We can think of no good reason to buy this. [Issue#200, p.94]

Occasionally thrilling, and lovingly reproduced. [Issue#200, p.92]

A good, solid collection. [Issue#200, p.90]

When it makes contact, GT5 absolutely hits it out of the park so we hope lesser elements like online integration can be improved before Polyphony's opus strikes out. [Issue#200, p.85]

It's not a complete washout but it's certainly not an essential download like previous tables. [Issue#199, p.103]

It's a superb piece of DLC that shouldn't be missed. [Issue#198, p.103]

Longevity is assured thanks to a variety of maps and plans to land and only the fact that stages can take a while to get going lets it down. [Issue#198, p.103]

It's still a fantastic game and an absolute riot in multiplayer. [Issue#198, p.103]

It's a shame that the gameplay is so linear because the tech truly is astounding. [Issue#198, p.103]

We've no problem with Top Gun's short length, but we do have a problem with the dull gameplay and uninspiring visuals. [Issue#198, p.103]

While Costume Quest is an utterly charming RPG...it's a rather simplistic affair that offers very little challenge. [Issue#199, p.103]

A comparatively shallow RPG, but fun and accessible. [Issue#198, p.94]

Despite all its flaws and its ludicrously over-thought setting, this is actually a pretty enjoyable game. [Issue#198, p.90]

Horror games are supposed to be scary, but the only thing that really gives Saw II any credibility are some of the more interesting puzzles. [Issue#198, p.97]

Racquet Sports is pretty much unforgivable tripe. It's boring, bland, and doesn't actually work properly. [Issue#198, p.96]

NHL is proof that subtle refinement year on year is infinitely preferable to knee-jerk feature modification. [Issue#198, p.91]

The action stages are still great fun, but there's no denying that it is no longer the game it once was. [Issue#198, p.103]

As much as we enjoyed Dead Space and look forward to its sequel, this really is a poor effort from Sumo Digital and Visceral Games. [Issue#199, p.103]

There's little here to keep you coming back to previously conquered levels beyond your own personal drive. [Issue#199, p.95]

Enough to keep players entertained for a couple of hours at a time. [Issue#199, p.94]

Really good fun. [Issue#199, p.93]

The best football game on PS3. [Issue#197, p.82]

A solid strategy romp and well worth any strategy fans' time. [Issue#197, p.94]

It's still a neat little package, though, offering everything you need from a portable brawler. [Issue#197, p.96]

Pretty much the same game, only a bit better with Move. [Issue#197, p.95]

There's more than enough going on in single-player to make it worth a bash. Just don't expect anything to surprise you. [Issue#194, p.98]

A superb conversion to a portable gaming format. [Issue#196, p.90]
